Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers

About

Founded in London in 1880, the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers (RE) was established to promote the art of original printmaking and provide an exhibiting venue for artists working in etching, engraving, and lithography. The society distinguished itself by requiring members to produce their own prints rather than merely reproducing paintings, fostering a distinct community of printmakers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
